Featured Actionist®: Irene McGee

Irene McGee is a pioneering media activist, critic and scholar who has taken an outspoken stance against the disturbing lack of ethics in mass media.
Widely recognized for her stint as a cast member on MTV's "The Real World Seattle" in 1998, she became the first person to walk off the set of a reality television show during filming. As McGee was leaving the program and on her way to the airport, she was assaulted by one of her fellow cast members on camera. The scene is replayed repeatedly on television to this day, and was ranked the ninth most shocking reality moment ever by VH1.
She is host of "No One's Listening," a new radio podcast program that focuses on media-related issues. This groundbreaking show focuses on media literacy and media ethics and can be found at nooneslistening.org. <http://www.nooneslistening.org/> To learn more about Irene you can find her at www.irenemcgee.com <http://www.irenemcgee.com/>.
